Character Creation Rules:

1. All Characters start at the "Beginner" Rank.
2. Access to items is very limited. Characters may have a single melee weapon and a single ranged weapon, neither of which have any special effects. (Note that a pair of the same weapon still counts as one, and that the ammunition for a ranged weapon also counts as part of them item) All other items should be utilized through powers.
3. All characters, by default, are members of FlashPoint. If you so desire, you may later leave FlashPoint to join the First Sons or go out on your own.
4. You are limited to abilities of your own level (See below)

Additional Characters:

1. Initially, all RPers are allowed a single character. However, potentially limitless characters slots are available.
2. You can create up to one RPC per month, but the new RPC will be at least one rank below your lowest-ranked RPC. (If your lowest rank is a beginner, then you cannot make a new RPC)
3. You may choose to, if ineligible to make a new character, abandon a prior character and make one of their rank. However, in doing so you will forfeit all earned rank up requirements, any bonuses that character was given, etc. You may not, under any circumstances, roleplay with the abandoned character again (If you did not kill them off, feel free to use them as a personal NPC or convert them to a civilian)

Power Slots:

Powers slots by Rank are distributed as follows:

Beginner:
3 D Ranked Slots

Guardian / Thug:
4 D Ranked Slots
5 C Ranked Slots

Champion / Outlaw:
5 D Ranked Slots
6 C Ranked Slots
6 B Ranked Slots

Hero / Infamous:
6 D Ranked Slots
7 C Ranked Slots
7 B Ranked Slots
7 A Ranked Slots
1 S ranked Slot

In the event all of your initial slots for your rank are filled, you may add a new power of your rank as a "Bonus". The rank of the power added will determine how long you must wait to add new powers.

D Rank: 1 Month
C: 1 Month
B: 2 Months
A: 2 Months
S: 3 Months

Switching Power Slots

In the event you would like to change powers previously allocated to your character:

1. You may swap out individual powers for new powers with the permission of one moderator. You may switch no more than one power slot per month this way.
2. You may switch around your entire power list (Including your main powers, if you so desire) with the permission of 2 moderators. This should not be done more than once in a 6 month period.
3. Note that neither circumstance is guaranteed for approval, and that you should not be submitting those requests regularly. These rules exist to allow for the "Trial and Error" of RPC design, not for you to create unnecessary work for the staff.
4. Requests to switch power slots can be made in the Rank up Forum.

When creating a new character, make a new thread using the template below. The thread should be labeled (Level) Character Name.

Quote:
 
Name: What is your character named?

Code Name: Do you have an alter ego? If nothing else, this is what you'll be referred to as in the papers and on the news.

Height: How tall is your character? Either Feet and inches, or in meters, or both.

Weight: How much do they weigh? Either in pounds or kilograms

Gender: Male or Female

Age: No characters younger than 15 please. We don't advocate sending children into life threatening situations.

Rank: Everyone starts as a Beginner

Power Type(s): What are the "Main" powers your character has? These are the powers from which all of your individual techniques are derived. See the Global Power List For more information

Appearance: What does your character look like?

Items: What items and weapons does your character have?

Attributes: Your physical Abilities. You will eventually get to increase these. All Beginners start with 5 of everything. Normal people are considered 3 at everything.

Strength: This is how strong your melee attacks are. Also influences how large objects you lift can be.
Speed: This affects how quickly you move.
Endurance: This affects how much damage you take.
Agility: This affects your ability to dodge, change directions, and perform advanced acrobatics.
Accuracy: This affects how difficult it is for your ranged attacks to be dodged or, when necessary, how hard it is for you to aim a difficult shot.
Energy: This determines how quickly your characters gets exhausted from using their powers.

Powers: Be sure to only use powers available to your character class. The level of each power cannot exceed your character rank (meaning Beginners get only D ranked powers, Guardians/Thugs get C Ranked powers, etc) For more information on Power Slots and how many you have, check here.

Background: Tell us more about your character. Family life? Personal life? Where do they work? What did they do before they were "Activated"? At least 2-3 paragraphs of decent length are required.
